    Yes a late Swan made probably about 1956/7. The Biro company (BIC in fact) bought out Mabie Todd in 1952. Model name? Could be a York or perhaps a Warwick

    I read someone calling the Warwick a drab model, but this model makes the demise of Mabie Todd poignant. Some of my favorite nibs of all time.
